Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said it was a “great honor” for having President Donald Trump in attendance for Super Bowl 59 when he was asked about during Super Bowl week but he may not feel that way anymore.

Despite picking the Chiefs to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl, he seemingly took a jab at KC after they got blown out 40-22 in New Orleans. In a post on his Truth Social page, Trump took a dig at Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris over him during the 2024 Election.

“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” Trump wrote. “She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!”

That didn’t sit well with Kelce. According to the Daily Mail, “Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there.”

“After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year, it just hasn’t been a good week for them. But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy.”

After one of the worst games of his career (four catches, 39 yards), Kelce will reportedly take some time during the offseason to weigh his options before deciding on retirement.

The 35-year-old All-Pro tight end told reporters during the week that he believes he has a lot of football left and that he sees himself still playing with the Chiefs in three years.

Travis Kelce was left saddened and disappointed after witnessing his girlfriend Taylor Swift being jeered during Sunday night’s Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The pop star, who appeared on the Superdome’s jumbotron, was booed when Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Kansas City Chiefs on a humiliating night for the superstar tight end.

Kelce’s response to the startling incident, which prompted US President Donald Trump to say she had a “tougher night than the Chiefs,” is revealed by Daily Mail.

“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him,” according to a source close to Kelce.

The insider further stressed that Kelce always “protects” her and the incident literally “broke” his heart. “He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.”

Given that Taylor hails from Pennsylvania and even wore Eagles gear before dating him, several Eagles fans consider her as a sort of “traitor”.

Travis feels that “it was unnecessary” for Trump to make fun of her, especially after he said that it was an honor for a president to be present, the source added.

The source noted that it “hasn’t been a good week” for the duo as Travis lost the year’s biggest game and Taylor did not win any of the six Grammy categories. “But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season, having her love gives him so much joy.”

Taylor did not receive a positive reception due to her devotion towards Chiefs and the presence of large number of Eagles fans.

Upon witnessing the jeering, Taylor remarked, “Aww what, what’s going on,” stated a lip reader, as per Daily Mail.

Fans viciously poked fun at her, and she responded with a derisive side-eye, which was only the beginning of a terrible night for the Chiefs clan.
